“Along with their anger about abortion, they grouse about not being allowed to punish students “for being homosexual or transgender.” They also argue they should be able to penalize teaching assistants for “cross-dressing,” by which they appear to mean allowing trans women to wear skirts.”
I love this take on religion.
Parallels with the “stupid or evil” assessment I always have to do for conservatives in general
Evil is always rooted in ignorance
I disagree, simply by virtue of the fact that psychopaths exist. Morally motivated evil (aka harmful acts) I think is rooted in ignorance, and religiously motivated evil almost certainly is.
This is an example of that last one.
